"There are only two people's fingerprints on the carton. One is definitely that of the deceased, and the other is the courier responsible for delivering the express from the sales department near Chihuahua Express."
"That's not right. The boxes should be sent from the manufacturer to the Chihuahua warehouse first, then transported to the sorting center, from the sorting center to the sales department, and finally sent to the school.
"How is it possible that there are only two people's fingerprints?"
Although he had worked as a delivery boy, Meng Fei didn't know much about the logistics in this world. This process is exactly the same logistics process he saw when buying things on Chihuahua Shopping.
"They have investigated this."
Lao Qi has already prepared.
“Nowadays, instant noodle manufacturers have fully automated production lines, and no human participation is required in the packaging process.
"After the cartons are packed and rolled off the line, they are transported to the warehouse on Chihuahua's unmanned logistics vehicle. Then the same goes from the warehouse to the sorting center.
“Only the sorting step is more complicated. It used to be sorted manually. But now Chihuahua’s sorting center is sorted by artificial intelligence.
"So this carton doesn't have to come into contact with anyone except the courier who finally delivers it to the user."
When Lao Qi said this, Meng Fei's mind pictured many round robots shuttling back and forth like ants in a huge warehouse to sort express delivery.
In other words, these instant noodles have never been touched by humans since they came out of the factory, except for passing through the hands of the courier and the deceased.
"So is there anything suspicious about this courier?"
Meng Fei felt that he could not find any other breakthrough point.
"There's nothing suspicious about it."
Lao Qi ruthlessly blocked his only train of thought.
"From the time he came out of the sorting center to the door of Zhang Feng's house, he was within the range of the surveillance cameras and never left for a second.
"We can be sure that he never touched the box except for transporting it."
"Are there any records of the logistics process?"
Meng Fei is still not so relieved.
"It's in the investigation report."
Lao Qi opened the investigation report on his mobile phone.
Place the order at 20:45 on December 16th.
At 21:30 on December 16, the product was shipped from the Chihuahua West 7 warehouse in Wutong City.
At 21:5 on December 16, Chihuahua arrived at the West Sorting Center in Wutong City.
At 22:55 on December 17, we arrived at the sales department of Hongmo Town, Wawutong City.
Delivery will begin at 8:40 on December 18.
Sign for receipt at 9:12 on December 18th.
It appears that the only human contact occurred between 8:40 and 9:12 on December 18. And it was all under surveillance by surveillance cameras.
Meng Fei glanced at it and turned his attention to the instant noodles with bright red packaging:
"He likes instant noodles very much? He always eats this kind?"
"Yes. If he goes to the laboratory, he will eat in the school cafeteria at noon. But at night he usually stays in the dormitory and eats instant noodles when he is too lazy to go out.
"Sometimes he doesn't go to the laboratory and stays in the dormitory during the day. He eats instant noodles all day long and occasionally orders takeout. But he didn't order takeout yesterday."
"Living alone?"
Meng Fei looked around.
Although it has obviously been cleaned, many details, such as the teddy bear doll on the bed and the withered flowers in the vase, are reminders that a woman lived here.
"Isn't it true that you can only apply for a graduate student apartment if you are married? How can you live alone?"
Meng Fei felt that he had caught another loophole in the rules.
"Zhang Feng is indeed married. His wife is a classmate in the same laboratory, named Mi Rong. The two got married while studying.
"But Mi Rong moved out three months ago. They were getting divorced. People from the criminal case team believe that the emotional fluctuations caused by the divorce dispute were the reason for Zhang Feng's suicide."
"He's divorced?"
"There is no divorce yet. Zhang Feng refused to sign the divorce agreement, so the divorce cannot be negotiated. Mi Rong sued in the court for divorce. It is now in the six-month cooling-off period."
"Then why did Mi Rong ask for a divorce?"
"Letter found in court
The news is that I applied for a divorce because of the breakdown of my relationship.
“But it’s a secret investigation now and we can’t question her yet.
"The preliminary investigation concluded that the two got married hastily and their relationship was not very good after the marriage."
"Where is Mi Rong now?"
"She took leave and went back to her hometown in Jiangnan. She hasn't been back for three months."
"You really haven't come back?"
"It is true that she has not returned to school. The criminal investigation team retrieved surveillance videos from various parts of the school in recent weeks for automatic identification and found no trace of her.
"And I keep an eye here every day. I know everyone in the whole building. Have I seen anyone suspicious here? If Zhang Feng's wife had come back, I might not have seen him?"
"Well, I really don't see anything suspicious."
Meng Fei finally sat on the sofa, holding his chin and thinking.
"The perfect secret room, the perfect alibi, the perfect physical evidence, and even the motive for suicide is complete."
"How about I go down first? You two can make your own way here. Don't worry about damaging the scene."
After a few seconds of silence, Lao Qi politely withdrew.
The room became much emptier and quieter.
Xiao Han stood quietly aside, looking around sharply, as if he was on guard against the killer in the darkness. The look in his eyes was just like that of Xiao Luo beside He Ma thousands of years ago.
But there will be no killers here. If there is, the only killer can only be herself.
As long as there is any abnormality, dozens of steel darts will immediately fly out from under her coat like rotating blades in a juice machine, slicing the enemy into pieces.
Meng Fei sat on the seat where Zhang Feng died, stroking the cold computer desktop, trying to feel the deceased's final moments in life.
Right here, take out this deadly powder, put it into your favorite noodles, and make a meal.
"Guji..."
Meng Fei did not feel the determination to die, but he felt a strong hunger, and his stomach growled on its own initiative.
"I totally forgot, it's already nine o'clock in the evening and I haven't had dinner yet!"
He ordered takeout for himself, his wife and Suzaku. What he ordered was grilled chicken drumsticks, but it had not been delivered until Xiao Han arrived.
Of course, I won't send it again now, because it has been sent to my wife's ward a long time ago.
Looking down a little, he saw the box of red bowl noodles in the box. It's a ready-made bowl, so you don't even have to wash the dishes.
On the cover are soft, smooth and juicy beef cubes, green Sichuan peppercorns, and fiery red chili peppers. The wonderful combination of green and red brings infinite temptation to people's taste nerves.
There is a water dispenser in the room, so you don't even need to boil water.
Meng Fei held the red plastic instant noodle bowl in his hand and looked at it. The cover is heated and then plastic-sealed on the mouth of the bowl. He carefully tore along the edge of the bowl.
Inside are white noodles that are neatly coiled like hair. The instant noodles in this world are different from the fried crispy noodles he had seen in his previous life.
The noodles in the bowl are elastic, soft and rich in moisture, just like freshly cut and neatly coiled ramen noodles, with a hint of fresh flour aroma.
At the bottom of the noodle bowl under the noodles, there is a layer of red and black jelly-like fat and large chunks of beef. That's a mixture of seasonings, cooking oil, and garnishes.
After opening the package, there is no need to tear the seasoning bag, and then consider adding seasonings, etc. Everything is perfectly proportioned according to the best taste, and the dough does not need to be fried.
The only thing diners have to do is add boiling water to the bowl, put the seal back on, and wait for three minutes, and the food will be ready in no time!
After the water dispenser made a bubbling sound, the room was immediately filled with the charming aroma of spicy hot pot.
